What does the suffix mony mean?

The suffix "-mony" typically indicates state, condition, or act of. It's often used to form nouns from verbs or adjectives.

Here are some examples:

* Testimony: The act of giving evidence

* Ceremony: A formal act or series of acts performed on a special occasion

* Harmony: The state of being in agreement or accord

* Matrimony: The state of being married

* Astronomy: The study of celestial objects

It's important to note that "-mony" isn't always used in this way. Sometimes it's part of a word with a different origin and meaning, such as "money" or "lemon."
